Chapter 147 Considering Remarriage

“Who knows?” Rebecca replied impatiently.

She picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip. Unfortunately, the faint tea fragrance still couldn’t

ease the turmoil in her heart.

Christina looked down, and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.

She said, “Although the public opinion has been buzzing lately, only a few people know the details.

Natalie has divorced Cedric now, and she doesn’t seem like a meddlesome person. She’s been

immersed in work lately. It’s unlikely to be Joyce either, right? After all, she wants to Ced.”

“So, I doubt she wants the Johnson family’s reputation to be damaged!”

In other words, there was only one person who would benefit from doing this!

Isabella!

Because she was now blind, the Johnson family had to be her support. The more people from the

Johnson family caring for her, the better her days will be.

While Christina didn’t explicitly say it, Rebecca understood.

“But she doesn’t know those people in high society!” Rebecca said, referring to Isabella..

Christina replied, “The hospital Ced owns is where only the rich and powerful can be admitted.”

“Are you suggesting she did it intentionally to live in the Johnson family?” Rebecca asked.

“Who can say for sure? Over the years, how many people have wanted to enter the Johnson family?

Mom,

you also know…” Christina trailed off as Rebecca’s face darkened.

Christina continued, “And it’s completely hopeless for her eyes. Her only support now is Ced, who has

the

Johnson family behind him!”

Christina’s observation was clean and logical.

Isabella’s eyes were ruined for the rest of her life.

Rebecca closed her eyes and sighed. “Let her move in here first. We don’t have any other options right

now

If Isabella were placed outside at this critical juncture, the situation would get out of control.

A calculating look flashed in Christina’s eyes, and she nodded. “Yeah. Who do you think would bother

doing so much just to make sure we arrange for Isabella to live here with us?”

Who had so much time on their hands?

To put it bluntly, the person manipulating this issue behind the scenes would benefit the most.

Rebecca’s eyes gleamed sharply.

“After she moves in, keep an eye on her. Don’t let her have any time alone with your brother.”

Got it!

Christina nodded. “Got it!”

“Tina.”

“Yes, Mom?”

“Your brother… Well…”

When it came to Cedric, Rebecca didn’t know what to say at that moment. She was also proud and

naturally unwilling to admit that she was wrong about Natalie.

But now, she was truly wrong!

It was more than just being wrong.

The Lambert family’s position in Verde City was crucial. But if she had known early on about Natalie’s

relationship with Stephen, the Johnson family would have been unparalleled abroad.

That would have been much more impressive than a small city like Verde City!

*Anyway, keep an eye on Isabella. Even if she’s Ivan’s sister, we can’t allow any problems in the

Johnson.

family!”

Even with that sense of gratitude, Rebecca absolutely wouldn’t allow anything between Isabella and

Cedric.

“Okay, I understand!” Christina said as she concealed her satisfaction.

Isabella… hah!

Natalie and Irwin left the concert together. Irwin’s eyes were full of indulgence as he observed her

sleepy

Appearance.

“If you don’t like something, you can tell me directly next time.”

“Would I dare?” Natalie grumbled.

Before this, Stephen had repeatedly instructed her to attend the concert with Irwin.

He gave her the tickets, so how could she not come?

Now, thinking back, she felt extremely wronged.

Irwin smiled warmly at her response.

“Irwin.”

“Hmm?”

“The first time I met you, I always felt you were a very serious person.”

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a very warm person!

The man’s smile widened. Elegant and refined were not enough to describe his gentleness.

“So, have I passed your test?”

“I think your future wife will be very happy!”

She used to think he was too serious, making the atmosphere oppressive when they were in the same

space.

People’s interactions couldn’t be completely summarized after just one meeting, just like with Caleb.

“Hehe!” Irwin laughed.

Natalie suddenly turned serious and said, “But I think my uncle’s efforts were in vain.”

“How so?”

“When things between Cedric and me began, it was also this beautiful!”

The first impression was genuinely flawless.

But what happened after?

Irwin’s expression changed. He understood Natalie’s meaning.

A long black windbreaker draped over her shoulders.

“It’s okay, I understand,” he said, not defending himself or speaking ill of Cedric,

He left everything up to Natalie.

Natalie smiled at him. “Thank you.”

“Shall we go back together?”

“Sure.”

Natalie didn’t refuse. It was better to clarify some things, as blind rejection didn’t suit them.

b

After all, even if they weren’t friends, they were business partners.

Back at Elegance Bay, Natalie got out of the car and turned to Irwin.

“You probably need to give me a ride tomorrow; I didn’t drive back.”

“Okay.” The man nodded.

After they had been honest with each other, their interaction felt more relaxed.

“Go on in,” Irwin said like the gentleman he was.

Natalie nodded and walked inside. Based on her intuition, Irwin was indeed a good person. However,

she

would have to disappoint her uncle’s good intentions!

The moment she entered, Irwin drove off.

Inside, Natalie felt something was off.

The butler, Nigel, approached her and said, “Miss, you’re finally back!”

“What’s wrong?”

Nigel’s expression was also off. He glanced inside and replied, “Mr. Johnson is here.”

Seriously?!

Now Natalie didn’t know what to say.

They had clearly divorced, yet he freely came and went in and out of her life.

Just as Natalie was about to say something, Nigel spoke first, “We couldn’t stop him.”

Natalie closed her eyes. “I understand.”

When Cedric became overbearing, few could stop him. But was this kind of overbearing behavior

She took off her coat and went inside. The man sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee that a servant had

prepared for him. He was smoking, and Natalie waved her hand to disperse the smoke.

“Nigell”

“Yes, Miss.”

“Light up the scented candles, and open the windows!”

She disliked the smell of smoke very much.

Seeing how Natalie was ignoring his presence, Cedric’s eyes dimmed.

Natalie tossed her bag onto the sofa. The little pig rubbed against her feet, and she bent down to pick it

up before sitting down.

The little creature behaved well in her arms. Looking at the pig in her arms, Cedric’s already unfriendly

expression now revealed an indiscemible emotion.

“Go on, then. What do you want?”

Natalie was accustomed to his sudden intrusions.

Cedric asked, “Did things between you and Irwin develop so quickly?”

Natalie remained silent.

The tone of his question… it sounded like an interrogation.

How could he?

Without waiting for her to speak, he tossed his phone in front of her. On it was the video of her feeding

Irwin.

“Did you send someone to stalk me?” she raised an eyebrow and asked.
